I play humans mainly because I like the aestatic of the average bloke with some nifty tool taking on the horrors in Mantica. It also helps that I own 2 once GW empire armies. (one shown above) One advantage of playing humans is that I can use my models for at least 2 different armies … Continue reading Using the same minis for more than one army
An important part of the Kings of War hobby is Multibasing. In this blog post I'll write down what multibasing is and how best effects are achieved. First a bit of history Wargaming (especially historicals) the base unit in a wargame is not a single model representing a single soldier, but the unit. (usually represented … Continue reading Multibasing – What and how

A few months ago, I got the brainwave to update my brotherhood army to Kings of War. You can find everything about it here. One of the things that needed doing, was the rebasing of my Forsaken beast. He's the guy on the left. It's just a varghulf model that I once bought as part … Continue reading Hobby update and Brotherhood progress
This is just a fun post; don't take any of it too serious. That said, when I started my brotherhood-multibase project, I took some time to play around with my single-based knights before multibasing them. What would it be like to have an old-fashioned bretonnian lance formation of 24 knights? Well; the answer is above. … Continue reading The charge of a thousand knights
Remember those knights which need multibasing? They've been kept on hold for a bit now, as I am particpating in the MonsterMarch challenge. That said, while painting a single model, there's always time stuff needs to dry. So while the dragon is drying out, I spent some time multibasing the knights. It's a lot harder … Continue reading Hobby update – while the dragon is drying out
Shortly after I started my new blog, I also started a new side project, the army of darkness. As I already owned a necromancer and a horde of skeletons, I had to build a 2nd one. It's finally finished, see header pic. In this blog post, I'll post a few WIP posts to show the … Continue reading Army of Darkness (2)
The final two knights have been finished! (shields still lacking, as they are still drying out from their ink wash). This means that the Brotherhood army is shaping up nicely! Remember the Reconnoiterers I built from discarded outriders? this is how they look like now they are finished! Done! This means the next project on … Continue reading Hobby update – Knights, knights and lotsa knights!
Recently, I started out creating a new brotherhood army. Well, new, that is: I need to paint a few recoinnoiterers and four more knights. After these are multibased, I can field the army. I would love to replace a few models after that, as using Reiksguard as order redemption feels a bit wrong. That said, … Continue reading Hobby updates – Brotherhood and Army of Darkness
My multibased reiksguard 3 +4. Multibasing Cavalry harder than it looks like, here's why: I do like multibasing. My blog is full of multibased infantry; as I really like the diorama's I can make out of these. Cavalry, not so much. Why? there's very little I can do with those horses and I don't really … Continue reading Multibasing Cavalry
